4-layer transparent screens and 4-channel sound installation //2024
Infinite duration
In collaboration with Bryan Yueshen Wu
Time-flux is a generative audio-visual installation exploring the form of time. The installation is formed of four layers of transparent screens and quadraphonic surround sound. Each of the transparent screens captures the flux of time moving through, collectively forming a dynamic spatial sculpture that evolves in real-time. The audio-visual combination of Time-flux portrays the collapse of time around the gravitational pull of emotions and subjective experiences. Each screen projects a visual particle field filled with flowing element of time. The visual particles reacts to the dynamics and texture of the sound, resulting into attraction and repulsion effects. The generative sound collage draws materials from an intimate collection of field recordings, and process them to reflect the nonlinear and distorted nature of experiential time.
In the modern society, time has been commonly considered as even units for production and capitalisation. Time-flux addresses the dehumanising experience obligated to live within such a system. Inspired by philosophical concept of Durée and scientific theory of time dilation, Time-flux celebrates the hidden experiential dimension of time beyond measurements.
